When I arrive home I meditate, after which I brew a fresh cup of some fantastic roast of coffee. I sit and write in my journal, noting the flowers I saw on my walk or thoughts that came to me during my meditation. I'll probably make a few lists of things I want to do that day. I'll check the time and to my delight, I've a few minutes to spare for a bit of yoga.
The key word here is FANTASY.
My mornings do start early; I try to get up two hours before I have to start work (today that means 6:00AM as I'll log into work at 8:00). I feed the cats, and then peruse Facebook on my phone while waiting for the kettle to boil. The coffee part is mostly right as I do buy at least decent coffee and I make it by the cup in a small french press. At some point I'll realize I've become lost down an internet rabbit hole and I've only 15 minutes left to get dressed and make a second cup of coffee. If I'm lucky, and I plan ahead, I may find time to write in my journal.
Lately there is about a 50/50 chance that after I feed the cats, I'll go back to bed, forget to set the alarm and find myself waking up ten minutes before work begins.
Every once in a while, when the stars align properly or I'm in the midst of a period of dedicated self improvement, I'll have my coffee, read the news, write in my journal, get dressed and upon looking at the clock realize that I actually do have ten or so minutes to spare for meditation.
After which I of course pat myself on the back for having such a well organized morning routine.
What is your ordinary morning?
